The late strikes have failed utter

to the strikers. But il the latter
will think them over, and take TO

1t will then beseen that no matter

the men to stop work. That done,
however, another set Of conditions,
over which organized labor has no

ployers are rot willing that their
business shall cease, so they call for

The strikers have ceased to be neo-
essary 10 their late employers.
Their places have boon islladi And
the only resalt Of the strike is to
throw them ont Of employment.
This proves She utter incompetence
Of their leaders. The latter have
told them tiat they had onl to strike
to get all they wanted. They fol-
lowed this advice and got nothing
they wanted, but on the contrary
lost what they had before. No sane
man can believe after such an cxpor-
fence that he can derive amy benefit
from following these ENTHUSIASTICALLY
leaders.
More than this, the leaders must
be very stupid that they did not fer
see what has happened, for every
body else. foresaw it. The workings

WAS only said to prevent thea, from

their foolish leaders. Will they re-
peat this costly blunder? Will they

the probverb puts 10? Or viii they
profit BY experience and refuse
henceforth to so anywhere bind
fold, ut the dictate or officials who
cannot be trusted What Is plain is
that strikes are onc-sided. They
cannot be controlled by she strikers
unless the latter use violence, and
not chen unless they can overcome
all she force which lies behind the
State. Even were il possible TO do
this, they would only produce an
archy, and that would not give them
work and wages again. The plain
truth is that they cannot cope with
the force opposedto them; the needs
Of the public (; the laws Of trade the
competition Of unorganized labor.
Refusal to recognize this can only
lead to further disaster. No labor
leader who does not reckon with
these forces can be trusted. So long
as they are ignored all strikes can
do is to throw the strikers out Of
work, and as much can be effected
every day by workingmen without
joining the Knights Of Labor. Who
ever wants to stop work can do SO
without asking leave Of an Organizes
ton. But the question is, how to
make strikes'successful. The Knights
of Labor have failed to solve that
problem, nor can it ever be solved if
attacked as blindly and recklcssly.

Floods in the East.

FoRT WAYNE, February 1.-THE Mi
anna and st. MarYs rivers raised feetlast
night and the flood now threatens to sur
pass the affair of four years ago. May
families have removed to theupper stories
of their residences or abandoned them al
| together. Great distress exists among
farmers in the flooded portions between
Toledo and Fort Wayne. The water is
rising six inches per hour and the city
must shortly be cut off from wagon COM
munication from the north.
LYONS, Mich, February 11.-The flood
here is simply terrible. A panic has seiz-
ed some of the people and it is impossible
to get at an estimate Of the losses. The
water is four feet deep in many residences
and the same state of affairs prevails in
store roems. Everyone is moving or prepar-
ing to move. Last night was the most ex-
citing the village has ever experienced.
Up to last night 8 buildings had been
washed away and demolished and many
others were badly damaged. AtMur the
same serious condition prevailed and
merchants have abandoned their stores.
Adviees from other parts are to the same
effect, but Lyons seems to be the worst
sufferer.

night and the river is still rising. At

Three officers Killed by Indians on the Nav
aio Reservation, New Mexico.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, February o.
George Lockhart, deputy sheriff of Nav
ajo, accompanied by Ed. Palmer and Tom
King, started Monday morning for the
Navajo reservation to arrest an Indian
for horse stealing. They found him on
the reservation surrounded by q large
party of the tribe. The Indian resisted
arrest and Lockhart shot and killed him
instantly. The other Indians opened fire
on the three men and Loekhart, Palmer
and King were killed and left lying where
they fell. The sheriff's posse killed two
Indians and wounded two others. The
Indians then rode off to the store near
ManuIao station, on the Albuquerque Sc
Pacific railroad, and stole all the provi-
sions they could carry off. The excite
ment is high, and the people living around
the reservation are afraid the entire tribe
will 60 on the war path and that another
Indian war is imminent.

G. B. 90, to amend sec. 81, 5th division,

This amendment proposes to allow seines

said stream. White claims that this will
allow men to follow fishing for living on
those streams without decreasing the num-
Der of fish, as the large fish only will be
taken, and large amount of money will
be saved to the territory which now goes
out of it for the purchase of fish.

he had approved Ell. J. M. 6, asking Tor

HELENA, February 9.-Goy. Hauser
gave a banquet last night to the resident
federal officials and to the new governor.
Yesterday at noon, in the office of Gov.
Hauser, Preston H. Leslie was sworn by
Chief Justice Wade to faithfully discharge
the duties of the Office of governor of
Montana and to do all other things which
the formal oath prescribes. Governor
Hauser, Secretary Webb and very few
others were present. So Samuel t. Hau-
ser became the ex-governor of Montana
and Mr.. Leslie became the chief execu-
tive. The transfer Of authority was ac-
companied by no other formaity than the
oath of office. La the afternoon Gov. Les
lie was in Secretary Webb's Office, where
he will make his headquarters for a time,
and Councilman Will. Kennedy waited
upon him with his (Kennedy's) bill relat-
ing to the probate practice act, which had
passed both houses of the legislature.
Governor Leslie looked it over and affixed
his signature, making it a law-his first
official act as governor of Montana.
